iOS 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 Fix Important Bugs

Apple has released iOS 10.0.2 to address some early bugs. You can download the 88.2 MB update in Settings > General > Software Update or via iTunes. If you’re running iOS 10, you should install this update right away.

The big news with iOS 10.0.2 is a fix for a bug affecting iPhone 7 owners who were seeing Lightning-connected headphone controls stop working after a few minutes.

iOS 10.0.2 also resolves a bug that could cause Photos to quit for some users when turning on iCloud Photo Library and another that kept some app extensions from working.

iOS 10.0.2 comes hard on the heels of 10.0.1, which only those buying the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus needed to download explicitly, since 10.0.1 was the first public release of iOS 10 for older devices. Most important in the iOS 10.0.1 update were fixes for issues that could affect Bluetooth connectivity and pairing with an Apple Watch; Adam Engst couldn’t pair a new Apple Watch Series 2 to his iPhone 7 until he upgraded to iOS 10.0.1. That update also fixed a bug that prevented the iPhone from recognizing “Hey, Siri” requests, addressed problems with audio quality for calls made over VoLTE, and improved the stability of the Camera and Contacts apps.

I was appalled that these new system (both .1 & .2), when installed (iPhone 6s+): (1) loses MOST of your important settings. When I asked Siri to call my "wife", Siri confessed that she knew NEITHER my wife NOR ME! (2) Issues with iCal ... iCloud doesn't always accept new events from the iPhone. iCloud ALSO RESENDS many events ALREADY accepted from recipients. "Backup" in iCloud has a NASTY habit of resetting the button to ON! (3) Due to issues with iCloud, Apple Senior engineers recommended I turn OFF iCloud on my iPhone 6S+ and then ON again. Didn't really make a difference with my iCal iCloud problems ... but DID turn that nasty "Backups" ON and DID NOT automatically restore ANY of my "Notes"! imagine my surprise when I opened my "Notes" the next day to update ... and found NO NOTES installed on my iPhone. These system SHOULD NOT have these problems by iOS 10!!!

I had an email from Kevo that problems with iOS10 and Kevo locks, forcing program to launch to get it to work, were resolved with 10.0.2 and now the program(APP) works to unlock lock without Kevo having to be in the active screener site. Now it works in the background mode, without Kevo updating their software. It was an iOS 10 glitch.
